Croix Estate 'Floodgate' Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, USA 2021 Finca Can Feixes with some spice in perfumeA broader and concentrated style, the 2021 vintage is delightfully aromatic featuring wafty scents of Bing cherries, wild picked raspberries, honeysuckle, baking spice, sassafras (sugary and sweet), and a dash of fresh oak. This is wonderful! A dark purple hue leads the way to a full bodied beauty with impressive, balanced flavors of lush cherry reduction sauce, cola, chanterelle mushrooms and earth undertones, silky tannins and a long finish.
